Rote Grutze (Red Fruit Jelly)

This is a very popular dish in Germany. You can use any type of berries you like or try it with cherries.
It is mostly eaten with vanilla sauce but milk, ice cream or custard are also popular accompaniments.

So when I was a kid and my mom talked about Rote Grutze, I thought she meant something like red grits, or cream of wheat or something in the cereal category. I'm glad it's actually this yummy fruit jelly! I used frozen red raspberries from my garden. I will try with different fruit another time. Made for Aussie/Kiwi Make my Recipe Reunion, Nov. 2011
